    Noob to 2.3L

    I don't know about my MPG - Mine doesn't run well so its not a good example. I believe its usually between 25-27 if the car is running well and stock. I'm sure someone else can give you more info on that. Its strongly affected by how hard you drive it though. I hear the mileage can get...

    Oil Leak - Tranny probs

    Thanks RustBucket I changed the pcv valve a few months ago but I'll check it out. Could you tell me what kind of work it is? I've never dropped an oil pan so I have no experience there. Would these be the only gaskets I would need? Rear main seal (felpro): $8 Oil pan gasket...

    Oil Leak - Tranny probs

    Anyone have ideas? Today I left it idleing while I made room in my garage and the oil pressure was only a mark above red. The fan kicked on (shockingly - it hasn't worked automatically that I've seen in months). I checked the temp guage and it was getting up there. So overall its getting...

    Lifting the front with jack/jackstands - Best way to do it?

    I'm not too familiar with lifting cars. I recently bought a pair of jackstands and a floor jack. I remember seeing somewhere that the car should be lifted from the chassis under the door - at the notch close to the wheel. I tried that and it sounded like my car was getting ready to split. I...

    Aftermarket fan controller? Whats good and where can I get it

    My cooling fan doesn't come on automatically anymore (suprise huh?) I would prefer to have an automatic system with a manual override. I played around on google but I couldn't find anything for a decent price. Where is a good place to get such a thing?

    adding a turbo

    Haha...SSDD The general community agrees that putting a turbo on a stock n/a engine is a bad idea. People do it and I guess they have some success but you will have to keep the boost low. Do a search, there are always threads like this coming up and some of them should have...

    Oil Leak - Tranny probs

    Last time I had my oil changed they mentioned I had three oil leaks. I know my valve cover gasket is leaking but the others I'm unsure of. The whole thing is covered in oil. :D A couple weeks ago it got worse. I'm finding about 4+ teaspoons of oil under my car every morning. Other problems...

    Rear Defrost Repair/Removal (aged)

    Thanks, I know about those pastes. I really don't care that much about the rear defrost because I made it through the last winter without it (found it wasn't even grounded a few weeks ago and thats why it wouldn't come on at all) Can I just take a razor blade to it or is it embedded into...

    2.3 wont start..............

    The pump should just prime when you turn on the accessory power. (pretty sure at least) The relay should be under the passenger side seat. Do a quick search on the forum...

    Rear Defrost Repair/Removal (aged)

    My rear defrost is not factory installed. Its starting to show age and it makes the car look worse. The last couple strips seem to get slightly warm but none of the others and in fact the vertical strip on one side is starting to peel off so they're not getting anything anyways. I was going to...

    Stupid flasher.. ****!

    The switch that makes them flash works by heating a piece of metal but I think it would have to be extremely hot to mess that process up. I think you can get another for maybe $5. (Its the larger metal thing in your fuse panel)

    Heater Core

    I don't know how many hours I spent. I spent a few hours at night and then continued the next day. I had it drivable by the end of that day. (drivable does not include the center console and steering wheel trim :D ) Make sure you tighten the bolt under the HVAC assembly all the way back in...
